Bariatric surgery is an effective method for treating obesity, helping patients lose weight and improve their overall health. In Lviv, modern clinics offer a comprehensive approach to preparing for and performing surgeries. We will explain the cost of the surgery and how it is carried out in our clinic, step by step:
1. Multidisciplinary team consultation
At the first stage, the patient undergoes an in-person consultation with a multidisciplinary team, which includes:
- the bariatric surgeon who will perform the surgery
- an anesthesiologist
- other surgeons
The consultation lasts approximately 3 hours and helps determine the most suitable type of bariatric surgery for the patient.
2. Examinations and tests
At the next stage, examinations and laboratory tests are performed. The patient can take them on a convenient day agreed with the clinic. This helps prepare the body for surgery and ensures the safety of the procedure.
3. Bariatric surgery
The surgery process depends on the chosen method and the patient’s condition. According to scientific data:
- Gastric bypass: usually lasts several hours
- Gastric resection: slightly shorter than bypass surgery
Doctors recommend the most suitable bariatric surgery option for each patient to minimize risks and achieve the best possible results.
4. Postoperative hospital stay
After surgery, the patient stays in the hospital for at least 3 days, where full care and monitoring are provided. Before discharge, follow-up examinations are performed to ensure the patient’s condition is stable.
For patients coming from other cities, modern rooms with all amenities and a private dining area are available, making the stay comfortable.
